NDIS Bookkeeping Support for Self-Managed Participants

We help self-managed NDIS participants, parents, carers, nominees and family members stay on top of the admin side of self-management. Organised records, clear summaries and simple systems — so you can focus on what matters most.

ℹ️ GoBookaroo provides bookkeeping and administrative support only. We are not a plan manager, support coordinator or registered NDIS provider. We do not manage your NDIS funding or make decisions about your supports.

Who This Is For

Self-Management Comes With a Lot of Admin

Choosing to self-manage your NDIS funding is a powerful decision. It gives you more choice and control over your supports. But it also means you are responsible for keeping your own records, tracking your spending, managing invoices, and making sure everything is in order if the NDIA ever asks to review your plan.

For many self-managed participants and the people helping them, that admin burden can feel overwhelming. GoBookaroo is here to take the paperwork off your plate, so you have a clear, organised record of everything without spending your evenings trying to figure it out.

🙋

Self-Managed NDIS Participants

You manage your own funding and want help keeping your invoices, receipts and records organised and easy to access.

👨‍👩‍👧

Parents and Family Members

You manage NDIS admin on behalf of a child or family member and need a clearer, more organised system.

👤

Nominees and Carers

You act as a plan nominee or carer and handle the financial admin side of a participant's self-managed plan.

🏠

Participants Who Employ Support Workers

You pay support workers directly and need help with payroll paperwork, timesheets and record keeping.

The Challenge

We Know Self-Management Admin Is Hard

Self-managing your NDIS plan puts you in control, but the admin side of it is real and it takes time. These are the things we hear from families and participants most often.

🗂️

Invoices Piling Up

Invoices from multiple providers arriving at different times with no clear system for tracking what has been paid, what is outstanding, and what supports they relate to.

📉

No Clear View of Spending

You know money is going out but it is hard to see at a glance how much you have spent, what is left in each support category, and whether you are on track.

📋

Record Keeping That Slips

Service agreements, receipts, timesheets and bank statements stored in different places, or not kept at all, creating risk if the NDIA ever audits your plan.

👥

Paying Support Workers Directly

You employ your own support workers and are unsure about payroll obligations, PAYG withholding, super, timesheets and keeping everything compliant.

Admin Taking Over Your Life

Hours spent sorting paperwork that should take minutes, taking time away from the people and the activities that actually matter.

😟

Worry About Getting It Wrong

Unsure whether you are keeping the right records, tracking things correctly, or meeting your obligations as a self-manager. The uncertainty is stressful on its own.

How GoBookaroo Helps

We Handle the Admin Side So You Can Focus on Living

GoBookaroo steps in as your bookkeeping and admin support team. We do not manage your NDIS funding, make decisions about your supports, or act as your plan manager. What we do is organise, track and tidy up the paperwork side of your self-managed plan.

Think of us as the person who gets all your invoices, receipts and records into order, gives you a clear monthly summary of what has been spent and where, and sets up a simple system so the whole thing runs more smoothly going forward.

Important: What We Do and Do Not Do

GoBookaroo provides bookkeeping and admin support only. This means we organise records, track spending and handle paperwork.

We do not act as a plan manager, manage or move your NDIS funding, register as an NDIS provider, provide support coordination, or give advice about which supports to use or how to spend your budget.

We work alongside your plan manager (if you have one), your support coordinator, and your accountant. We handle the paperwork. They handle everything else.

What's Included

NDIS Admin and Bookkeeping Services

Everything below is available as part of our NDIS bookkeeping and admin support service. We can tailor what we do to suit your specific situation.

🧾

Invoice Tracking and Organisation

All invoices from your NDIS providers collected, checked and recorded in a clear, organised log. Know exactly what has come in, what has been paid and what is outstanding.

📁

Receipt and Document Management

Receipts, statements and key documents filed and stored in a consistent system so you can find anything quickly and have everything ready if you ever need it.

📊

Budget and Spend Tracking Summaries

A clear monthly summary showing what has been spent across each of your support categories, so you can see at a glance where your funding is going and how much remains.

📝

Service Agreement Record Keeping

Your service agreements with providers filed and tracked, with key details recorded so you always have a clear reference for what has been agreed.

🏦

Bank and Payment Reconciliation

Bank statements matched against your invoices and payment records so your books are accurate and any discrepancies are picked up early.

👷

Payroll Paperwork Admin Support

If you pay support workers directly, we help with the admin side of payroll including timesheets, payment records and paperwork organisation. We work alongside your accountant for anything that requires professional advice.

📅

Monthly Summaries and Reporting

A simple, easy-to-read monthly report of your NDIS spending, organised by support category and provider. Clear enough to hand to your plan manager or accountant if needed.

🔄

Quick Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide plan management?
No. GoBookaroo is not a plan manager and does not provide plan management services. Plan managers are registered NDIS providers who receive and pay invoices on your behalf using your NDIS funding. GoBookaroo provides bookkeeping and admin support only. We help you organise and track your own records — we do not manage, receive or disburse any NDIS funding.
Can self-managed NDIS participants use bookkeeping support?
+
Yes. Self-managed participants are responsible for keeping their own financial records, tracking their spending and ensuring invoices are correctly documented. Using a bookkeeper to help with that admin side is entirely consistent with self-management. GoBookaroo can help you set up clear records, track invoices and payments, and produce monthly summaries — so your self-management is well-organised and easy to maintain.
Do you help with payroll paperwork for support workers?
+
Yes. If you employ support workers directly as part of your self-managed plan, GoBookaroo can assist with the admin and paperwork side of that arrangement. This includes organising timesheets, tracking payments and keeping employment records in order. For payroll compliance advice including PAYG withholding, superannuation obligations and STP lodgement, we recommend working with a registered accountant. We are happy to work alongside your accountant to make sure everything is in order.
What records should self-managed NDIS participants keep?
+
Self-managed participants are required by the NDIA to keep records showing that their NDIS funding was spent on reasonable and necessary supports in line with their plan. This generally includes invoices and receipts from all providers, bank statements showing payments made, service agreements with providers, timesheets if you employ support workers directly, and records of any informal supports funded through the NDIA. GoBookaroo can help you set up and maintain all of these records in an organised, accessible system.
Do you provide BAS or tax advice for NDIS participants?
+
No. GoBookaroo does not provide tax or BAS advice. For most individual NDIS participants, NDIS funding is not considered income for tax purposes, but every situation is different and we recommend speaking with a registered tax agent or accountant about your specific circumstances. If you employ support workers directly, there are payroll tax obligations that require professional advice. We are happy to refer you to a qualified accountant and to work alongside them on the record-keeping side.
